Carlos González, the main vocalist of the fugitive group, is the only survivor of the massacre that cost the lives of four of his companions and the representative of the group in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, last weekend, after having been hired for a private event.
While the names of Francisco Xavier Vázquez Osorio, Víctor Manuel Garza Cervantes, José Francisco Morales Martínez, Nemesio Antonio Durán Rodríguez and Livan Edyberto Solís de la Rosa (representative of the band) appeared in the publications for his disappearance, the identity of Carlos González was not included in the reports, because he survived the killing.
According to official reports, Carlos González was saved from the aggression because on May 25 he had a delay and failed to travel with his teammates in the truck he usually used. He then tried to join the group, but in the direction to which they had been summoned only found a vacant lot.
Relatives of the victims told local media that Carlos González planned to present themselves together with their companions in a private event in the Riberas de Rancho Grande neighborhood, to the East of Reynosa. However, that day was delayed and failed to go out with them in the same vehicle towards the event. A video on Facebook confirms that Carlos was with them before the last presentation. When he finally reached the meeting point, the place was empty.
The survivor, given the lack of information, returned to his home without knowing that his teammates had left for what would be his last event.
On Monday afternoon, the State Search Commission issued files for five people: the four musicians and their legal representative.
Since the disappearance and subsequent lifeless location of his colleagues, Carlos González has not made public statements or published on his social networks nor has appeared in interviews or commemorative acts.
According to the Attorney General of Tamaulipas, the five victims moved aboard a black truck when they were deprived of their liberty around 10 pm. The vehicle was located on Tuesday, May 27 in the La Cañada neighborhood, but without the group’s badges.
Thanks to the analysis of video surveillance and telephone tracks, the local authorities arrived last Wednesday to a property in the Aquiles Serdán neighborhood, where they located five bodies, near the ejido Los Longoria, on the banks of the Bravo River.
The first investigations suggest that the victims were killed and subsequently their perpetrators tried to carbonize them.
The Prosecutor’s Office indicates as responsible for the criminal cell “Los Metro”, belonging to the Gulf cartel, based on Operations in Reynosa.
